Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Latehop uses cookies and similar technologies, what they are used for and how you can manage your preferences when visiting our website.
Last updated: 3 November 2026Welcome to Latehop. We believe visitors should understand how their information is used when exploring our website.
This policy describes cookies, browser storage and other technologies that may support Latehop's travel inspiration, destination guides and website functionality.
1. About This Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy applies to the Latehop website at https://latehop.com/ .
It explains how cookies and similar browser technologies are used or may be used when visitors interact with our website.
It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy .
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website.
They can help websites remember preferences, maintain essential functionality and understand how visitors interact with online services.
Websites may also use related technologies, such as local storage, to remember information within your browser.
Not every browser storage technology is technically a cookie, but similar privacy rules may apply.
3. How Latehop Uses Cookies
Cookies and related technologies may support the following website activities:
- Maintaining essential website functionality.
- Remembering selected website preferences.
- Supporting Saved Holidays and destination features.
- Understanding website performance and usage, where analytics tools are enabled.
- Supporting affiliate attribution where commercial partnerships are active.
- Remembering cookie consent preferences.
The technologies used may change as Latehop develops.
4. Types of Cookies
The following categories describe cookies and similar technologies that may be relevant to Latehop. They do not constitute a verified inventory of cookies currently installed on your device.
| Category | Purpose | Consent |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Supports essential website functions, security and requested services. | Generally exempt where genuinely necessary. |
| Functional | Remembers optional preferences and enhances usability. | Depends on whether storage is strictly necessary for a requested function. |
| Analytics | Measures website usage, traffic and performance. | Normally requires prior consent. |
| Advertising & affiliate | Supports advertising, referral attribution or marketing measurement. | Normally requires prior consent. |
5. Saved Holidays & Local Storage
Latehop includes a Saved Holidays feature that allows visitors to remember destinations they are interested in.
This feature uses browser local storage to save selected destinations.
For example, the storage key used by the current Latehop destination guides is:
latehop_saved_destinations_v1
Saved destinations remain in the browser until they are removed, the website clears them or browser storage is deleted.
This feature does not, by itself, require visitors to create a Latehop account.
Storage used solely to provide a feature explicitly requested by a visitor may qualify for a consent exemption. Other uses must be assessed separately.
6. Analytics & Performance
Latehop may use website analytics services to understand how visitors interact with our pages and improve the website.
Analytics information may include page visits, navigation patterns, device information and general website performance data.
Where analytics cookies or similar technologies require consent, they should not be activated until the visitor has agreed.
Any analytics services actually used should be identified in the website's cookie preference system and cookie inventory.
7. Affiliate Links & Tracking
Latehop may participate in affiliate programmes with travel companies, accommodation providers and other travel-related businesses.
When affiliate partnerships are active, some links may contain referral information that allows a provider to identify qualifying visits or bookings.
Third-party providers may use their own cookies or tracking technologies in accordance with their privacy policies.
Where affiliate or advertising tracking requires consent, the relevant technology must not be activated before consent is obtained.
Affiliate relationships should also be disclosed clearly where required.
8. Third-Party Services
Latehop may use or link to third-party services, including travel providers, analytics tools, embedded content and website infrastructure providers.
Some third-party services may use cookies or related technologies when their content or services are accessed.
External websites operate under their own privacy and cookie policies.
We encourage visitors to review those policies before providing personal information.
9. Cookie Consent
Where required by applicable UK privacy and electronic communications law, Latehop must obtain valid consent before placing or accessing non-essential cookies or similar technologies.
Visitors should be able to accept or reject non-essential cookies and change their preferences later.
Rejecting optional cookies should not prevent access to the website's general content.
Strictly necessary technologies may operate without consent where a valid legal exemption applies.
10. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage cookies through your browser settings and, where available, the website's cookie preference controls.
Most browsers allow you to delete existing cookies, restrict certain cookies or block cookies entirely.
Disabling some storage technologies may affect features such as Saved Holidays.
Cookie Preferences
To change your optional cookie choices, use the cookie settings control provided by Latehop's consent management system, if one is installed.
You can also find instructions for managing cookies in the help section of your browser.
11. Cookie Duration & Retention
Different cookies and browser storage technologies may remain active for different periods.
Session cookies generally expire when the browser session ends.
Persistent cookies may remain until their expiry date or until they are deleted.
Browser local storage, including Saved Holidays information, may remain until it is cleared.
Exact cookie names, providers, purposes and retention periods should be disclosed after a current cookie audit.
12. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in website features, third-party services, technology or applicable law.
Any revised version will be published on this page with an updated revision date.
